Imagine being Molinari and being approached to do an interview to praise the guy who took away your best shot ever to win your first Masters. What a class act for him to agree to do this and to speak with such humility and respect

[wlamb]

Arguably the most iconic sporting moment of all time.

5:34 Gary Woodland says when Tiger was winning we all felt we were winning. Nicely said

[ABasuPune]

We have all made mistakes. But going from being a champion to a vilified man and then climbing back the cliff to be the champion Tiger. What a man, what an athlete. An absolute inspiration.

[KevinBostwick]

I am always fascinated hearing Tiger Wood's peers speak of him; he truly is the greatest golfer ever.

[paulhirano]

I still get choked up watching highlights of this iconic moment.

[DdotRay]

I literally sobbed after the final putt. 33 year old man, crying like a little child at witnessing my hero come back from the ashes. I don't care what shortcomings he has or what mistakes he has made. Tiger is the greatest sportsman of all time and I will always love him.

[joshuahymer]

Very rarely does a moment in sport move you to tears.

[kcsox]

I grew up with Arnie, Jack, Gary etc. but, Tiger Woods is without question the greatest to ever play the game. This victory will forever be his greatest accomplishment.

[harrysewell]

Molinari has shown he both wins and loses with grace and class. Much respect to him.

[Mikishots]

I'm a grown man and I cried for 5 minutes straight. It was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen and I feel privileged to have seen it happen. Never give up, write off the naysayers and just do it.

[markbrouk]

Goosebumps, I'll never forget it. I had tears when he finished and hugged his son.

[henkka]

Cried like a baby. Iconic. Masterful. Priceless.

[joebeuselinck]

That kind of determination is what parents pray their kids have a fraction of. Single greatest comeback ever. Period.

[jaket]

im a hockey fan, a football fan, and a basketball fan. ive watched my teams win superbowls and Larry OBs, but, to me, this is the greatest sporting achievement of all time. i cherish it deeply

[MrJaiden]

The best week in golf every year. There is nothing like The Masters. A course created by a legend, Bobby Jones, that has created legendary moments.

[MrDrMeow]

What makes it so special is everyone and I mean literally everyone was judging him, his personal life and his golf life. They saw his back destroyed along with his game and his marriage and gave up on him. Not a soul aside from his truest of true fans had the belief that he could be back on top. The ridiculous amount of mental fortitude this man has is immeasurable to climb back to his throne where he belongs. That warrior spirit just gives me chills.

[waqarghulam]

Nothing made me more happy about golf than this win by Tiger. Very special indeed.

[danielkelly]

4:19 Look how hard he still hits it with a two shot lead on the last hole. He's awesome

[DunnGolfing]

Everytime this tournament starts its goose bumps all over hairs on neck tingle ❤️ Magic Masters
